Abstract

In this chapter, the concept of interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs) and IN uncertain linguistic numbers (INULNs) is considered as an advanced generalization of uncertain linguistic numbers (UINs) and interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic numbers (IVIULNs). Firstly, INUL operators, namely, INUL weighted average and INUL weighted geometric operators labelled as INULWA and INULWG operator, have been constructed, further, in the same environment, introducing INUL Dombi weighted average and INUL Dombi weighted geometric operator, symbolically presented as INULDWA and INULDWG operators. These operators have been utilized to develop a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) approach with INUL information. Finally, an application of mutual fund selection problems has been introduced by an example. A comparison approach to the issues proposed is studied with the actual result.
